        Predicting stock price is an important issue in both theoretical and practical aspects. Researchers develop prediction methods to get more accurate forecasting and investors try to find best investing program which depends on future prediction of their markets. The aim of this paper is comparing artificial neural network (ANN), nonlinear autoregressive exogenous model (NARX) and grey model (GM) for predicting stock price. The stock prices of insurance companies in Tehran Stock Exchange are considered in the period 7-10-2009- 9-10-2017. The variables 5 days simple moving average (MA-5), 20 days simple moving average (MA-20), moving average convergence divergence (MACD), gold price, oil price and exchange rate are considered for the prediction. Based on these variables, the models GM(1,1), GM(1,4) and GM(1,7) are selected for the prediction. The results show that ANN and NARX are in the same performance level while grey models have lower performance. The numerical simulations demonstrate that ANN and NARX provide reasonably good prediction with the average error RSME=2.04. Manuscript profile

        The insurance industry in Iran is growing, despite its long history of its presence in the Iranian economic market, has not yet been able to find a suitable penetration factor in the market.On the other hand, the increase of private companies and the increase of competition along with the unfavorable economic conditions of private sector actors in the industry and services sectors and the reduction of the share of insurance from the Iranian family of portfolios, due to other existing costs, made it harder for the insurance industry to work.In this paper, we will use the cross-over efficiency method in DEA based on the Shannon entropy, recently proposed by Sung and Liu (2016), to evaluate insurance companies in Iran. First, through interviews with experts in this field, the most important indicators of financial efficiency assessment were identified, which included 6 indicators. In the next step, in order to evaluate performance and ranking in the statistical society, 20 private and public insurance companies use cross-efficiency integration model and Shannon entropy. The ranking of insurance companies in Iran for the three consecutive years of 1393 to 1395.
